Kingwood is a true rosewood from Brazil, Dalbergia cearensis. It is a scare timber as it is a small tree and grows only in a small area.

David Aumann is really builting nice ukes in under 1K range. For a luthier built instrument, it has all the upgrades you would want- figured, rare woods, binding, abalone highlights. This is built light by rosewood/Kingwood standard and has a response and tonal balance with a dark, complex overtones which are very pleasing to the ear. It’s even more pleasing to the wallet!

What folks say:

Steedy from Ukulele Underground: "First of all, I have to sing the praises of Terence at dreamukes.com. Even though we're separated by 14 time zones, Terence provided awesome customer service throughout my purchase. He answered all my questions and addressed all my concerns immediately and completely. (I don't think he ever sleeps!) He also shipped the uke from Singapore to my front door in exactly 7 days, and it arrived in perfect condition!"
